Last Minute Christmas Gift Ideas - Soph & Beth Beauty ♡

There's only 6 days left until Christmas, have you bought all of your presents yet? If not then this will hopefully give you some ideas of what you can get. 

This blog post is mainly aimed towards girls gifts but I'm sure you could alter some of them and make them perfect for any boys. 

I have come up with a list of 11 different quick and easy gift ideas with a price range from about £2 - £12. You can purchase all of these items either online or from your local shops. 

1. Fluffy Socks - I always love receiving fluffy socks, they are great for the cold, winter weather. I normally buy mine from Primark because they have really cute patterns and they are super soft! In Primark they are usually £2 which means they can be matched up with any other gift of your choice. (I've already wrapped the 2 pairs which I have bought for my friends so I don't have a picture).

2. Nail Varnishes - I feel like you can buy any girl a nail varnish and they will really appreciate it! There are so many different colours and brands too pick from to match the person you are buying for perfectly. I personally recommend getting ones from brands such as Models Own, Essie, BarryM or Maybelline as my ones from these brands are my favourites. To be pared with a gift like this you could get them a mini manicure set or some nail files.

3. A Makeup Brush - If one of your friends is really in to beauty and wearing makeup then this is the perfect gift for them! My favourite brand for makeup brushes is either Real Techniques or Spectrum Brushes. If you don't know which brushes the person might already own go with one that you know that everybody would be able to find a use for.

4. Bathbombs (or anything for the bath) - You can never go wrong when getting people bath bombs or anything for them to use in the bath as mostly everyone loves using them! My favourite places to get bathbombs from would either be Lush or Miss Patisserie. 


LUSH - Candy Mountain.

5. An eye shadow palette - This is also the perfect gift to get anybody that loves makeup. This year my friend Sophie got me an amazing eye shadow palette from the brand Seventeen, I was super excited to receive this and can't wait to use the eye shadows. Click here to check out Sophie's blog:) This palette came with an eye primer, cream eye shadows ,powder eye shadows and a brush. 


6. A candle - I love candles and can't get enough of them so I love receiving them as presents. You can get candles from so many places depending on what price range you are looking for. I would recommend getting one from Yankee Candle as they are personally my favourite.

7. A lipbalm - Lip balms are an essential, especially in the winter time. Its always nice to receive lip balms because you know that you will be able to find a use for them. This year I have bought one of my friends an EOS lip balm but I would also recommend maybe getting one of the winter Baby Lips collection or even buying a lip balm from the company Friggin. Friggin lipbalm kindly sent me some of their lip blams to try out, I absolutely love them and they have helped my lips so much this winter. They come with lots of product and have really cute and simple packaging. Click here for a link to their website. 


8. A set - This year I received a lovely Soap and Glory set from one of my friends, it came with all of my favourite products and I'm so happy that she got it for me. You can find sets in many shops including Boots and Superdrug or even your local supermarket. Sets are perfect for everyone and if you don't know what to get this is the route to go down!

9. Hand Cream - This year I have started using hand creams so much more than I used too and my hands feel so much better because of it! Hand creams aren't usually something that you would buy for yourself so its always nice to receive one as a gift. My favourite hand cream at the moment is one from Cath Kidston. 

10. A frame with a photo of you and that person - This is a perfect idea if you are looking of getting a more personal gift for the person. Its such a simple present but the person will appreciate it so much. You can purchase frames from almost anywhere and get your photos printed from most supermarkets. 

11. Pyjamas - These are an essential to everyone and make such a cute gift. Places such as Primark and New Look do some really nice pyjamas. To go with these you could also buy the person a cute eye mask/sleeping mask just to finish off the present. 

I hope that this blog post has helped you and that the person receiving your gifts loves them! 

Thank you to the people at Friggin Lip Balm for sending me your lovely products to try out and review. 

We wish all of you a very Merry Christmas,
